When coming to CLA, I was very scared and worried that no one would like me, but that is not the case at all anymore. I believe that CLA has helped me discover my true talent and that is what I am thankful for. I believe I could have not found a better fit than this.

As a student I was first attracted to the small class size. I was interested in the individualized attention I would receive as a student. The staff and teachers were friendly and welcoming throughout the year not only for academics, but also on a personal level. By having a close school learning environment, the students, staff, and instructors became a family even through distance-learning. I am excited for the fall when we can all come together again.

Even though I’m part of the amazing staff at CLA, my daughter attends as well. This school is the perfect fit for her because of the limited amount of students. She would go unnoticed at a big public school. Being at CLA gives her the opportunity to have a one on one connection with all of her teachers.

I was first attracted to CLA through its desire to push the status quo by paying closer attention to student needs than the voice behind the curtain dictating norms to follow. As a staff member, CLA is the right fit for me because of the freedom they offer each and every individual who walks through its doors while still providing thoughtful guidance to ensure a rich culture remains woven into our education.

PBL attracted my parents and myself to go to CLA. It has allowed me to work better with others in a team and learn leadership skills. All staff members and students are amazing. They are open to anyone, care for everyone and love you for who you are. I am visual learner. CLA and teachers have allowed me to learn better. They would use photos, videos, and artistic skills to allow me to learn and understand the content.

The hands on real life approach to teaching. I'm glad that my student is able to see how what he learns can be applied to a job and real life. The size of the school makes it easier to get extra assistance. And the caring staff wants the students to succeed and you can tell they enjoy teaching. ​

​I really thought I was finished with my career in education, until I sat down with Joe Greenberg . After an hour long conversation I had a full time job and a new excitement for an opportunity like no other, doing it our way!

The small teacher to student ratio was the first thing that attracted me to CLA. As a parent it was great to see them push my child to excel while making learning fun again. The music program was the first thing that attracted him and they have yet to disappoint. It is also great they answer any questions you may have and address all concerns. The teachers are caring and available unlike some other schools. The Principal is the best we have ever dealt with. ​
